Biography
Khader Habeb was a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist organization. After the Hadera Market bombing of 26 October 2005 that killed 7 Israelis and wounded 55, he said that Islamic Jihad was committed to the truce with Israel, but could not tolerate a one-sided truce. Habeb appeared again in the media in 2014 when VICE News correspondent Henry Langston headed to Gaza City during Operation Protective Edge. After witnessing a funeral for an Islamic Jihad fighter the day before (attended by hundreds of people), Langston interviewed Habeb. When asked what the Islamic Jihad was looking for in the negotiations at Cairo, he said that the Palestinians were asking for the rights that were taken away from Palestine by the "Zionist enemy".
